A while ago I started a Water/Earth Blaster named Molasses Man, and used the Slime aura to be extra syrupy. But I guess I got distracted by other characters and deleted him.

What really helped me enjoy Blasters is control powers. Siren's Song in Sonic is a big one, it almost feels like a cheat, but really any Torrent power helps too. Knock everybody down then run into melee range while they're getting up.

This isn't really true anymore, Invulnerability's base Psi resistance is only 5% lower than the other non-S/L damage types. So you can slot the Impervium Armor IOs, but there's other options. I prefer six-slotted purple sets so you get the 6% Psi resist, plus 6% Toxic resist, and also 10% Recharge at the fifth slot. My Invulnerability Tanks generally have over 70% Psi resist without using any Impervium Armor (and also before the Might of the Tanker proc).

How can Radiation heroes justify using their powers?
Biff Pow replied to Zombra's topic in General Discussion
It's a superhero world, radiation is more likely to give you powers than kill you. -
I know Invulnerability isn't thought of as an offensive set but Invincibility provides +ToHit and if you slot the Gaussian's Chance for Build Up it fires off a lot when surrounded by enemies.

Can someone explain Enhancement Diversification to me here?
Biff Pow replied to Black Gryphon's topic in General Discussion
When you enhance a category (Accuracy, Damage, End Reduction, etc.) over 70%, the value will start to drop. It goes off a cliff after 90%, making added enhancement almost worthless. Certain categories (Defense, Resistance, Range) are lower enhancement rates, so the drop off starts at 40%, the cliff is around 55%. -
The Arachnos Mu guys are definitely a pain, especially when a bunch of them spawn together. They are a case where Hand Clap is helpful, since they don't really get knocked down but do get stunned. I don't find any other Arachnos very difficult, so I always target the Mu first. But if there's a lot of them (or two Bosses) and you don't like relying on inspirations or Incarnate powers, Unstoppable is also a last resort option.

Hasten will knock another two seconds off of KO Blow and Footstomp when active, which isn't insignificant but also not game-changing. I just prefer only one click power with an endurance crash to pay attention to versus two.

Accolade for playing the game.
Biff Pow replied to branefabricator's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Pretty much all the accolades can only be unlocked by playing the game. -
I don't use Hover but my build does have Combat Jumping, and also Spring Attack, which is a fun way to leap into a group of enemies. I keep it pretty simple- Unbreakable Guard in Resist powers, Shield Wall in Defense, purple sets in attacks, plus the usual +Def, +Res, +Regen, etc. IOs. Only 50% in Recharge bonuses (I find chasing more makes very little difference) but also 80% resistance to recharge debuffs. Tanker (Invulnerability - Super Strength).mbd

The compromise on Regen was a new Regen-esque set that used the revamp ideas (Willpower) so I think they should do the same with Super Strength- a new set that exists alongside the old one.

I know, I just wish it was even easier because clearing inventory is the dullest part of the game.
-
I wish there was a big "sell stack" button next to "sell" to speed up the vendor-ing process.

Everything in this list with an Earth icon is a global effect, meaning it doesn't have to be in an active power to work: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Enhancement_Sets
